Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.”

“We teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The marble not yet carved can hold the form Of every thought the greatest artist has.”
—Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564)
